It is the same as spoilers that activate at a certain speed, pretty obvious if you have been speeding, I believe some can be activated via manual override though.

Well mine still says 168 after a dyno run last year. I'd be willing to bet him my girlfriend that I hadn't been that fast on the bike and tell him to prove it!

Yeah nearly all of them come up at like 64mph or have the "look at me i'm a flash git" button. Again none can be used in a court of law or to proove speeding xD
